Welcome to the Salt Spring Island Foundation Website!
If, like me, you are lucky enough to live on Salt Spring, you will be surrounded by community projects and initiatives supported by the Foundation.
We offer you a one-stop way to support many aspects of community life. Whether your interest is in supporting conservation, the arts, children, seniors, families, other social services—or all of the above—your donation to the Foundation now or through a bequest will help you leave a lasting legacy to benefit the island for years to come.
You can be confident that the Foundation’s board members are committed to the growth and careful stewardship of our endowment funds, and to responsible and balanced granting to deserving organizations.
For more information please contact one of the board members, or send us an e-mail. Together we can make Salt Spring Island an even better place to live, work and play.
Sincerely,
Carol Biely
Chair, Board of Directors |
